Privacy Policy

What we collect

Expatbets.com has no account system, so we do not hold profiles on readers. The site does not carry advertising. When you visit, Google Analytics 4 records which pages you open, the site that brought you here, your device and browser type, and a rough location worked out from your IP address. If you send a message through the contact form, we receive your name, your email address and whatever you write.

How we use it

Analytics data shows us which pages readers find useful so we can improve the guide. Contact form details are used only to answer you. We do not sell or share personal data with anyone.

Cookies and analytics

Google Analytics relies on first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID string. These stay on your device for up to two years. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings, or install the opt-out browser add-on that Google provides.

Services we use

Google runs the analytics and may handle your data outside your own country, following its own privacy policy. The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which keeps request logs containing IP addresses for security and smooth delivery. Page fonts come from Google Fonts, which means your browser passes your IP address to Google. The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check that may examine your IP address and browser signals but sets no tracking cookies.

How long we keep it

Analytics cookies last up to two years. Messages sent through the contact form are saved in a Cloudflare database and forwarded to the site owner by email, and are kept for no more than 24 months.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold, have it corrected or erased, or object to its use. Reach us through the contact page and we will act on your request.

Changes

This policy is dated October 2026. If we change how the site handles data, we will update this page.
